3" - 4" Clay Orchid Pots

[ReneeFLL]

I'm having trouble finding smaller clay orchid pots. I would prefer to find some in S. Florida, but any info would be great.
Thanks

If none of your garden center carries any, try Michaels or other crafts stores.

East or west side of Florida?

In Boca, green barn orchid supplies.

In Wilton manors GardenWorks

In the Redlands ban jong orchids

I can’t remember the spots in Naples right now

Thanks, but Michael's doesn't have orchid pots with the slits.

I pot my orchids in clay pots without slits. The most important part is to have a drainage hole, and a potting media that drains really well. They're very good for plants which don't like to be over watered since the terra cotta wicks away moisture.

i was going to say this as well but they seemed really focused on theses pots

in our climate , out doors, it is all so hot it dries the same

I buy all of my small size clay pots from Michael’s. They seem to work fine without the slits since the clay is pretty breathable. I have found 4 inch clay pots with the slits at a hole-in-the-wall garden center, so I imagine they’re something you could track down on-line.

Thanks for all the replies. I'm in Ft. Lauderdale. I tried Green Barn and OFE and they didn't have any listed on their sight. Garden Works I have never been to. Isn't that the place that had huge tikis out front years ago? My shadehouse is just a screened in area so it's open to all the rain so I like the slits. I will probably just use what I have and adjust my orchid mix or use more peanuts.
Thanks

I have obtained them from both places. I think they were cheaper at gardenworks
